A Virtual Night of Comedy & Fundraising

Take at the Laughing Matters program book. A special thanks to all of the sponsors, supporters, and auction donors who made the event a success! Thank you to everyone who helps us achieve our mission of ensuring no one faces cancer alone in central Indiana!

Cancer Support Community Central Indiana will host a virtual version of its Laughing Matters fundraiser on Saturday, April 25that 7:25pm (EST). Their wildly popular, annual live event version of Laughing Matters is not happening in its regular form in 2020 due to COVID-19.

For the April 25th virtual event, viewers will enjoy Dave Dugan, one of Indy’s most beloved comedians, performing stand-up comedy. Those tuning in will also be given the opportunity to learn more about Cancer Support Community’s 25 years of helping to ensure that no one faces cancer alone.

This will be a family-friendly virtual event and safe for all ages. People will have multiple options to watch and enjoy the virtual experience including the following:

Laughing Matters is celebrating 20 years in 2020 and typically hosts a live in-person comedy event. Over the years they have hosted the biggest names in comedy including Kevin Hart, Joan Rivers, Seth Meyers, Jay Leno, Whoopi Goldberg, Nick Offerman and were prepared to welcome Martin Short for the 2020 event prior to it having to be canceled. Laughing Matters will return in 2021 to Old National Centre on Saturday, April 17th, 2021 and a headliner will be announced at a later time.

We are still here and open for business!

(Virtually of course.)

While we miss seeing your faces and hearing your voices in person, we are glad that you are each staying safe in your homes. We are proud to say that we are now offering more virtual programming than ever before. We have places to connect with others in virtual support groups, virtual wellness classes and even virtual social programs. We are still inviting speakers to educate on cancer related topics, just virtually from their home to yours. Maybe you are wishing you could have counseling to handle the stress of your life in these new uncertain times. No problem, we have staff trained and ready to set up counseling sessions for individuals, couples and families in the virtual space on our HIPAA compliant platform called Ring Central.

Our Community is stronger than cancer and now, stronger than the restrictions that COVID-19 has placed on us . Until we meet face to face again, we welcome you to our community in this new format. Please take a look at our virtual calendar for all of your favorite programs, and the new ones we have added in response to some new virtual needs.
